The Boulevard world of Paris has been
of late equally agitated and amused by the
strange sartorial escapade of an intrepid
lady traveller, Madame Dieulafoy, who not
long since received the cross of the Legion
of Honor in recognition of her courage and
perseverance in exploring, in the company
of her husband, the remotest regions of the
East. Madame Dieulafoy startled the
groundiings" and fluttered the "Vols-
clans" in the boxes of fashionable thea
ter some few nights since through her ex-
traordinary make up" She appeared in
something like caricature of the most
modern type of French dandyism-the su-
perchic-wearing boots described as of the
Mephi stophelian' pattern; her coat and
vest were Of quasi-masculine cut she wore
a pair of inexpressibles made according TO
the latest spring fashion-that is to say,
pantaloons so exiguous as to be practically
cloth " tight" her =" costume was
completed" as the novelists OF the g. p r.
James school used to put it, by the Ribbon
and Cross of the Order to which she has
been lately admitted. This, perhaps, in
the minds of orthodox sticklers for eti-
quette, was, even more than the tight gal
ligaskins, the head and front of the lady's
offending; and, on the face of it, the ap-
pearance of the " Star of the Brave" on the
breast of semi masquerade costume was, to
say the least of it, slightly INDIGENOUS. The
Chancellor of the Legion of Honor may
have something serious to say to this iniu-
dicious display of the insignia Of the Or
| der; but it is the pantaloons which appear
to have most strongly scandalized the Off
cial mind in the French capital There
seems to be growing taste among the
ladies of Lutetia for donning the neither
garments of the sterner sex; and it is ru-
mored, indeed, that the Project of Police
contemplates reviving an old ordinance for
bidding the assumption in public of male
| apparel by women. This prohibition dates
| from the commencement of the century,
| but it was improved upon in 1857, when
| the police were empowered 10 arrest any
| female found wearing masculine dress
| out of Carnival time, unless she were in
proper authorities, that she used the appa-
| rel IN question under medical advice, and
with a sanitary purpose.-L0ndoR Teiegrdph
EDUCATE GIRLS TO BUSINESS.
When a boy enters a business he enters
| it with the expectation of devoting himself
to the employment that he has selected for
| life, or he means to make it stepping
| stone to that which shall be his life work.
| When girl enters business she does not
| do that; she does not consecrate her mind
TO her work, but expects, naturally, in due
course of time, to be wife and to be taken
care of, and l, for one, feel very sorry to
| have girls educated TO any other view of
| life. A girl is more valuable IN business
after the age of %. She is by that time
| trained robustness habits, is self-reliant
/ and recognizes the value of devotion to
| business. Usually, if she remain single
until that age, she begins to consider self
support as the necessity of her life. 1t has
sometimes been asked why could not the
American husband and wife do what so
many couples do in France-that is, work
together in the same business side by side?
| There is danger in that system. Where
man has the spirit of true manhood and
| self-respect it is perfectly safe for a woman
to continue her wage earning power after
marriage, at least until she is called TO the
| higher duties of motherhood. When once
that comes into her life all her powers
mental, moral, spiritual-should be conse-
Grated to this holy office.
As | said, il man is a real man il is safe
for woman to continue earning wages
after she is married, but think that there
are hundreds of men to-day, yes, thou
sands, who have been ruined because they
were not compelled to support their wives.
I If man who earns small wages marries a
! woman capable of earning as much as
himself there are nine chances out of ten
that he will develop extravagant habits be-
| cause of the added income of his wife If
they could agree and hold to the decision
that they should live on the husbands in.
| come and let the earnings of the wife aceu-
| mulate as capital for business in which
| they both could engage, it would be well /;
| but their earnings would be largely dissj-
pated in personal adornment, the passion
for which, especially among the middle
classes, is the bane of the American people.

BREAD CRUMBS.
The waste of food in summer is ALWAYS
greater than in winter Bread becomes
musty in spite of care. The only way to
avoid this is to clean the bread pot every
day, caring in some special way for the
crumbs and broken pieces. An English
| magazine suggests several ways of using
broken bread
Bread crumbs are needed in every
household where fish or outlets are egged
Dreaded and fried, or where stuffing is used
for meat or poultry. As it requires little
time to prepare crumbs properly, and as,
when once ready, they will keep for some
time, 1t is an economy of both time and
trouble to keep store OF crumbs on hand.
Take any pieces of bread and dry them
thoroughly in cool oven, but do not allow
them to acquire color. Crush them finely
with rolling pin, pass them through
ilne sieve and put them away into tin
canister or dry bottle. II the bread thus
dried were allowed 10 become brown be-
lore being crushed and sifted, the crumbs
could be used as raspings to garnish ham
and bacon.

and make it hot. Shake the crumbs upon

hot when they are ready to serve.
Bread raspings with cold milk have
been told that this preparation is valuable
IN cases of diarrhea. Dry stale bread in
